Etymology
The village is named after Rabbi Hoshaya (or Oshaya) a scholar in the Amoraic Period of the Talmud.
History
The village was established in 1980 as a Nahal settlement, originally planned for soldiers from moshavim in the Galilee and later manned by soldier of the Religious Nachal Youth Aliyah, as part of the Lookouts in the Galilee plan. Three years later it was civilianised and 10 families moved into caravans on the site, though some of the original Nahal settlers still live there.
The Hoshaya community lives according to Orthodox Judaism, and in addition however there are many religious activities for women: Torah reading by women for women, reading of the Scroll of Esther on Purim by women for women, reading of the Book of Ruth on Shavuot.
The founders of the village stressed volunteering and community activity. In 2000 they founded a Soup Kitchen to prepare and deliver meals for the needy in nearby communities.
All the streets in Hoshaya are named after the former Israeli settlements in Gush Katif: Gan Or, Morag, Shirat Hayam, Pe'at Sadeh, Dugit, Katif, Bedolah, Gadid, Ganei Tal, Elei Sinai.
Currently, facilities such as Nativ Elementary School (including pupils from Tefahot, Kalanit and Kfar Hananya), Kfar kedem an ancient Galilee village theme park, and a boutique hotel. Maccabi and Clalit medical clinics are active in Hoshaya.
